Wim Daans

Wim Daans is one of the new breed of multifaceted technicians, blurring the lines between artistry, production and
technology in a diversity of disciplines. In his early career he played synths on tour with several EDM bands like
the notorious Lords of Acid, and achieved kult status with his ambient solo-project Karma de la Luna. Over the years
he shifted his focus several times and worked as a sound designer, studio producer, backline technician, video editor
and stagemanager. In all of those positions, Wim's passionate love and extensive use of the latest hi-tech equipment
has always been his driving motor."For my recordings and sound design work I want the best sound possible without much fuzz. My RME UFX can
handle any level, whether I feed it delicate mic levels or bleeding hot signals from my modular synth. And with
it's range of analog-digital-MIDI connectivity it's really like the swiss army knife in my home studio. I can even
use it with my iPad !"

For Night of the Proms, one of Europe's biggest
arena-touring productions, Wim operates a dual DAW setup on stage, running clicktracks, backing tracks and
timecode for syncing light and video."With a huge orchestral production like Night of the Proms, starring world class artists like Seal, Gloria
Estefan, Simple Minds, Grace Jones, Tears for Fears, Wyclef Jean, The Jacksons, and many more alike, I simply
cannot take any chances. My rig needs to be 100% rock solid and only RME drivers can guarantee me that top-notch
performance and reliability. I also need to build up a trustful relationship with my artists, and a lot depends
upon first impressions. When they see that RME is my weapon of choice, they know that I'm serious about what I do,
simple as that. The RME range of MADI products also enables me to stay digital from the source to the FOH Digico
desks, effectively bypassing any unnecessary conversions for perfect pristine sound quality.
